For Sale?

A real estate agent was driving back to her office, on her way back from a sales seminar about “For Sale By Owners” when she spotted a charming little farmhouse with a hand written "For Sale" sign out front.

After feeling motivated by the seminar, she pulled up and briskly introducing herself to the startled home owner! The agent cruised from room to room, opening closets and cabinets, testing faucets and pointing out where a "new light fixture here and a little paint there" would help. Pleased with her assertiveness and confidence, the agent was hopeful that the home owner would offer her the listing.

"Ma'am," the home owner said, "I appreciate the home improvement tips and all, but I think you read my sign wrong. It says, "HORSE for sale!"

The moral of this story is: The value of your services may turn out to be worthless if you aren’t fully aware of peoples needs!  -OM
